Earlier this week, the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) officially launched one of the largest U.S. port shutdowns in nearly 50 years, threatening to disrupt key sectors of the economy. As dockworkers strike over pay and job security, companies across the transportation, warehousing, retail, and construction industries are bracing for significant operational slowdowns. These disruptions may force many businesses to furlough or lay off workers as their supply chains potentially grind to a halt. In light of these challenges, implementing a Supplemental Unemployment Benefit (SUB) Plan could offer companies a strategic and cost-effective way to maintain the income of their employees without incurring the cash flow burden of traditional retention-pay, salary continuation or severance.
